Chapter 854： Big yacht (on)

From a project management perspective, there is nothing more enjoyable than hearing no surprises. Anyone who has done project management knows that this means that everything is in the plan, and it is steadily advancing according to the project plan. After all, surprises that are completed in advance are not common. The more common 90% are delays. Of the remaining 10%, 9% are greater delays, only 1%. It should be considered that it can be done normally or ahead of schedule when the project team works overtime.

So, no surprise is actually the biggest good news. The working atmosphere of Zhengyifang Technology is very good. Although it is not specifically emphasized, employees will take the initiative to work overtime an hour every day. It is very rare among people at this income level.

Guo Tailai can't help but admit that if Mi Feifei sat in Zhengyifang Technology, I'm afraid the R & D work here would be a mess. Guo Tailai has a self-knowledge, but he does not have this level of management, can support Guo Tailai as a shopkeeper, Mi Feifei is definitely hard work.

"Go, check it out!" Guo Tai echoed without hesitation, stood up and left.

Sitting on the big red flag of Guo Tailai together, Guo Tailai smiled at Mi Feifei: "Last year did a good job, but I have given you a ring, and the year-end award will not be given. Good work next year, and share rewards. Well, joint stock design company awards. "

"Cut!" Mi Feifei didn't seem to be interested in hearing the words, and screamed in his nose: "I knew to treat people as cattle and horses."

Of course, in the final analysis, in fact, my heart is still happy. Otherwise Mi Feifei would not subconsciously touch the ring on his finger. But look around the world. Whose year-end award is a full diamond ring worth at least 100 million US dollars? In terms of value alone, the working emperor deserves it!

The design company has grown a few points this year. In addition to the “foreign migrant workers” who were “abducted” by returning employees from the Spring Festival last year, there are also a number of senior domestic clerks. The main work of these people is to apply for the domestic airworthiness certification from the time when Guo Tailai's helicopter started the test flight. At the same time, prepare various materials and apply for the US FAA airworthiness certification. Europe's easa and faa are peer-to-peer certified, so just pass one.

The reason for applying for US airworthiness certification is also because this helicopter engine uses an American engine, which has natural convenience in passing. Of course, the probability of the airworthiness certification application of this helicopter is very high. In fact, these senior clerks are also accumulating certification experience to facilitate more aircraft application for certification in the future.

In short, the idea of ​​an aircraft is not to say that it has been designed and built, and can fly to the market. It has many high standards and must be recognized by the government. This aspect of work cannot be saved at all.

Relatively speaking, the yacht is much simpler, as long as it is designed and manufactured, after passing the test, it can be sailed after registration, without so much trouble.

However, Guo Tailai's yacht is unusual. From the beginning, Guo Tailai put forward extremely high requirements for the design of one of the world's largest yachts.

Last year, in 2004, the German shipyard Lulson began building the Larry Sunburst yacht, with a planned length of 393 feet (120 meters). Larry heard that the Microsoft Octeo Paul Octopus, which was also being built at the same time, would reach 413 feet (126 meters) in length. If so, the Octopus would become the world's largest yacht, and the Rising Sun would become the second child as soon as it was born.

This thing can't be tolerated. Size is everything. Larry, a madman and a wealthy man, seems to want to tell the world with a yacht: man, still have to speak with size.

Then the shipyard suddenly received Larry's notice of modification. To increase the length to 452 feet (138 meters), it would be the world's first size to be built.

Paul's octopus yacht cost $ 250 million, and Larry's Sunburst yacht has a latecomer advantage, and the cost is also $ 250 million.

According to Guo Tailai's knowledge, this year the Crown Prince of Dubai will place an order for the construction of a platinum meter with a length of 160 meters (525 feet) and a cost of 200 million US dollars. In 2013, Abu will buy a solar eclipse with a contract price of 500 million euros (340 million euros) and a length of 166 meters (544 feet). It didn't take long for the King of Saudi Arabia to order the 400 million pounds and 180 meters (590 feet) yacht to become the world's largest private yacht.

Last year everyone thought that Larry's Rising Sun was the first in the world, and indeed it was. When I first heard the boss's request, they were all refreshed. As a designer, who doesn't want to design a world first?

However, the designers of the entire project team were taken aback after getting the yacht's hand-painted exterior drawings and dimensions. The design drawings are okay, very novel and avant-garde, and they look very beautiful, but when you see the marked size, everyone's first reaction is that the boss is crazy?

750 feet, equivalent to 229 meters, is equivalent to the length of two multi-standard football stadiums, which is more than 100 meters longer than Madman Larry's Rising Sun. Is this too exaggerated? If the design is complete, how expensive will it be? Can domestic shipyards build such a large yacht? Maybe Ro-Ro ships and tankers can make bigger, but super-sized yachts, this size, is too difficult?

"You don't care about the cost and how to make it, just the design part." This is Guo Tailai's original words: "Maybe a design cannot be manufactured can only wait for the perfection of shipbuilding technology. Blueprint for the largest yacht. "

Well, Guo Tailai is the boss. The boss's order is the direction of the employees' struggle. The boss wants the world's largest yacht. Then everyone will work hard in that direction without giving money. What's more, if the design of such a yacht is really from the hands of their team, just by being the largest in the world, can they be famous?

Therefore, the entire yacht design team spent more than half a year to improve the internal structure and internal functions based on the appearance of the boss, select the appropriate engine all over the world, and finally complete all the designs before the Spring Festival this year. It was a gift he gave to the boss in advance.

Appearances Guo Tailai and Mi Feifei both knew that they did not know how the internal structure was designed. Now both of them are also curious, waiting for the answer to be announced after the company.

"Boss, how expensive is such a big ship?" Mi Feifei longed for more than just a design. She knew Guo Tailai's plan. If this super-yacht was built, how could it be done? But I'm afraid the cost will never be low.

"It is estimated to be US $ 600-800 million, and I am afraid that it will cost US $ 4-5 billion in China." Guo Tailai guessed a bit: "It depends on the budget given by the project team."

"As long as this money?" Mi Feifei is now one of the richest women, and without saying a word, he said: "make!"
